Belmont’s Porchfest is a celebration of community through arts and music — performed by your friends and neighbors on porches, in yards, and all around town. Bike to a friend’s house to hear klezmer, wander into a jazz trio down the street, or stumble upon a circus show on someone’s front lawn.

What a Day!

Belmont Porchfest 2026 was a tremendous success, and we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of our performers, hosts, volunteers, neighbors, and audience members who made the day so special.

Porchfest happens because people open their homes, share their talents, volunteer their time, and embrace the spirit of community. This year was no exception. Belmont was filled with music, laughter, and connection, and we're grateful to everyone who participated.

This year's event was made possible by an extraordinary group of people. Hosts welcomed musicians and audiences throughout town. Neighborhoods worked together to create spaces where people could gather safely and enjoy the music. Local businesses stepped up to support performers. Faith communities opened their doors, hosted stages throughout the day, provided volunteers, and helped keep everyone energized and welcomed.

Time and again, community members found ways to solve problems, accommodate last-minute changes, and make sure every performer had a place to play. That spirit of generosity and teamwork is what makes Porchfest so special.

One of the highlights this year was seeing businesses, organizations, neighborhoods, and residents all working together to create something bigger than any one of us could accomplish alone. We hope to see even more of that collaboration next year.

And yes... there will be a next year.

As Belmont Porchfest looks toward the future, we're excited about new ideas, new energy, and new opportunities to get involved. Stay tuned for updates here and on our social media channels. Some of those opportunities may include you.

Thank you again for making Belmont Porchfest such a memorable celebration of music and community.

See you next year!
